So not only is the subject offensive, it's patently incorrect. Kinda like the thread originator, I suppose.
Well, I can say this: I'm relieved to know conclusively that I don't operate with the same moral and ethical compass that you use.
Likewise, it's good to know that I don't share your ability to derive laughs in the immediate aftermath of such significant tragedy.
It's likewise good to know that innocent people die everday in Iraq because of our needless war of aggression and you have trained yourself to become so morally focused that those deaths mean much, much less than the deaths of a few kids at VT.
Nice assumption on your part. Show me once where I've ever said anything remotely resembling that sentiment.
The loss of innocent life anywhere, at any time, doesn't strike me as a matter lending itself to guffaws and finding "classic" humor. You, however, are apparently able to find humor in those situations. Props to you, I guess.
Ok, our senses of humor are different. Timing is an important aspect in comedy.
In my opinion, both remarks are insensitive.
Seriously, the most respectable thing to do right now is admit that it is not an appropriate time to have made the joke and move on. I'm not one of your die-hard republican opponents who bashes everything you say, so don't assume that I am making a personal attack on you. But you are making fantastic leaps in defending your "joke". I don't assume that Iraq war deaths are meaningless, my brother spent the past 5 years over there, I'm well aware of what goes on in that country and the importance of the lost lives.
Care to respond to this, Dan?
170 Iraqis (5 x VT dead) blown up today as direct result of dubya/ head's bull war, why aren't Americans holding candlelight vigils and 24x7 cable talking heads for Iraqis?
20K blacks get murdered by handguns every year in the states, why aren't the Virginia crackas holding vigils for them?
VTech is just more good ol' murderous, gun-happy, blood-saturated America! yawn
What's all the crying about?
It's only April, America's got 30K more murders to commit this year.
It's The Great American Lifestyle.

And then there was boutons.
For the record, this thread is the kind of thing I would have locked or deleted just so I wouldn't have to look at it anymore.
If there is politics involved with this topic somehow, I haven't seen it.
Par for the course for the biggest vagina on the forum.
It's likewise good to know that you are so bent on trashing Bush that you'll pull anything, including this incident, into the conversation to prove that you somehow have a point.
The funny thing is every time you post you just bear out to be an even bigger asshole than before.
dubya is the one bent for .... .
dubya, head are fully deserving of being trashed relentlessly, without pity.
They've ed up huge, they're gonna pay.
boutons and dan:
This thread has nothing to do with Iraq and Bush. It has all to do with tasteless humor and dan making up as he goes along.
What the does VTech have to do with Iraq or Bush?
Nothing. Nada.
We know who supports/protests the Iraq situation...there is no mystery on which side most fall on here at ST.
But that isnt the ing point. The point is VTech has ZERO, NADA, NOTHING to do with Iraq, Bush, WMDs, civilian casualties, IEDs, Rummy, Cheney, Monica Lewinski, perjury, the Patriot Act, blowjobs, White Water, draft dodging, swift-boating, et all.
The fact that you would correlate VTech and Iraq/Bush to somehow prove whatever politically motivated weak-ass argument you have this week is distasteful. Leave the other out of it.
If this thread were deleted, the only person crying is the guy making jokes and the one person who laughed with him.

Anything, Dan?
"Oh, Danny Boy...your crackpipe, your crackpipe is caw-ling..."
The tragedy isn't funny in the least, but the complete destruction of Dan's post is.
You guys wanna be mad at someone then go ahead and be mad at me. My point on bringing up Iraq is that we are the Cho in Iraq, and everyday we are killing equal to or more civilian victims just by staying there, than Cho ever did, but I don't see you wingnuts in here spewing your righteous indignation about that? And Yes, many of you have made jokes about it. Boutons and I care about what a mess this administration is making to the moral fiber of this country. We're not about torture, we're not about killing civilians and then paying off the families, and we're certainly not about wars of aggression.
This isn't just about trashing Bush anymore, but also about trashing the millions of you assholes who put this putz in office.
Ever heard of edited by-lines. dumbass.

Dumbass.
And since you so eloquently ed up your response to me, the question is still on the table.
All these MSM's you rant and rave against aren't (and haven't been, even with your links at the time you linked them) calling it the "worst school massacre," they've been calling it the "worst school shooting."
Care to respond, Dan...and you know, maybe try sticking to the subject this time instead of asking me random journalism questions.
I really don't have time to respond to your childish rants. Online news and even TV news always edit their stories. Or, there were bombs on Sept 11th and more than one bomb in Oklahoma. So which is it gonna be Johnny? You can't have it both ways.
And idiots like you that would put this country down the
drain to prove a point. Like your idol Harry Reid and
John Murtha. You like them are a loser.
I guess you support the inventor of the inter-net and
global warming, Mr. Gore. and the wounded war veteran,
who threw someones medals, over the WH fence.
I'm sure you and boutons will have a good time at
the local Mosque. You will no doubt be the first in line
to get in, since you are such brave souls.
